During World War I, Britain worked with the Jewish community to raise funds for the war and implemented the Balfour Declaration. However, at the same time, in order to take advantage of Arab nationalism aiming for independence from the Ottoman Empire, the Hussein McMahon Agreement (October 24, 1915, Higher Commission for the United Kingdom in Egypt) was given to Hussein, the guardian of Mecca, instead of cooperating with the United Kingdom. Official McMahon promises to build an independent state after the end of the war in the Ottoman territory of Arabs, excluding western Syria, in five round-trip letters with Mecca's Charlief Hussein. Executed). Furthermore, it secretly concludes a Sykes-Pico Agreement with its ally, France, to divide it after the end of the war. With the end of the war and the victory of the British-French allies, Palestine and Jordan became Britain, and Lebanon and Syria became French mandates. Britain's conflicting promises to both Arabs and Jews fostered two important nationalist clashes. Although the Kingdom of Egypt gained independence in 1922, the former colonial power of Britain continued its indirect control by deploying its own soldiers for the next 25 years. Britain had substantial control, and it seems that they did not have the ability to compete with the Egyptian army at that time. During World War II, a small number of Egyptian soldiers fought on the British side, but they had little connection with the people and seemed to have very limited influence on the government. In 1947, the United Nations adopted a Palestinian division resolution to create two nations, Arab and Jewish, on Palestinian land. However, the content is to give about 43% of the land to the large number of Arabs who have lived in Palestine for a long time and about 57% to the small number of Jewish people who have newly immigrated. Happened. Britain, which ruled Palestine, unilaterally withdrew due to the intensifying conflict between Arab nationalism and Zionism, and in 1948, the Jewish side founded Israel in the midst of armed conflict and tension between Arab and Jewish. Declared. Then, the First Middle East War (1948 to 1949) broke out. In the war, 700,000 Palestinians (Arabs living in Palestine) were displaced and fled to the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and neighboring countries such as Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. It seems that the towns and villages where the inhabitants have disappeared have been completely destroyed or Jewish inhabitants have come to live there. On the other hand, Palestinians who became refugees were forced to live in extreme distress in the poor tents and caves of refugee camps. The UN General Assembly passed Resolution 194 in December 1948, stating that refugees wishing to return to their hometowns would be allowed to return as soon as possible, and refugees who did not wish to return would be compensated for their losses. However, the Israeli side seems to have consistently denied this, saying it would lead to social and political instability. In 1950, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) was established and began to provide basic services such as construction of simple housing, education and medical care to Palestinians. The Egyptian monarch, King Farouk, who lost the battle with Israel and decided to participate in the war, lost his authority, and the Egyptian army accused the king of the responsibility for the defeat. In 1952, the Free Officers Movement led by Gamal Abdel Nasser forced a coup d'etat. The overthrow of the royal system by the military (later the Egyptian revolution) formed the basis of modern Egyptian republicanism. After the coup d'etat, under the command of Gamal Abdel Nasser, who gained popular support for his strong charisma, he proceeded with modernization with the aim of becoming a powerful army. During the North Yemen Civil War (1962-1970), the military dispatched expeditionary forces to Yemen to support the Yemen Arab Republic government forces. Pay a lot of costs. Later, the Six-Day War broke out between the Arab countries and Israel. Gamal Abdel Nasser, who commanded the Allied Forces, suffered a catastrophic defeat by the Israeli army and was robbed of the Sinai Peninsula, which was under Egyptian control. It seems that the credibility of the military has fallen to the ground due to a series of failures. 1970 Gamal Abdel Nasser (2nd President of the Republic of Egypt. With pan-Arabism and pan-Africanism, he founded the United Arab Republic consisting of Egypt and Syria and became its first president, and became the second president of the African Unification Organization. (Chairman also served) After his death, coup d'etat Anwar al-Sadart will take over. He first took office as Vice President, purged Nasser factions, changed political and economic policies, and worked on the reorganization of the Egyptian army, which had been exhausted by the Six-Day War. In October 1973, he led the army in the Yom Kippur War, aiming to recapture the Sinai Peninsula. Three weeks later, it ended with Israel's dominance, but the Egyptian army had great results at the beginning of the war. In 1978, the Sinai Peninsula was returned to Egypt following the Camp David Accords between Sardat, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and US President Jimmy Carter. With this achievement, the undefeated myth of Israel has collapsed, and the Egyptian army seems to have regained trust as an army with the power to protect national interests. After the assassination of Sardat in 1981, former Air Force General Mubarak became president. From around this time, the military promoted modernization with the support of the United States and expanded its military power. As Mubarak pushed for economic liberalization in the 1990s, he began to seek dividends that exceeded US military support from a shortcut to capitalism. In Egypt, military-owned public-private joint ventures seem to account for 15-20% of GDP. In addition, military personnel are guaranteed hospitality based on their powerful capital strength. As the military's economic power permeated society as a whole, it seems that its influence on civil society also increased. A long time later, on the night of May 20, 2021 last year, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office held a security cabinet meeting on the same day, based on the recommendations of the Israeli Army Chief of Staff, Secretary of State Simbeto, Secretary of Mossad, and Chairman of the National Security Council. Announced unanimous approval of the Israeli Gaza militants to accept the Egyptian mediation proposal to unconditionally stop the war. It was announced that the ceasefire would start at 2:00 am local time on the 21st. Regarding Japan's support for Egypt, which is the focus of attention, the dream of establishing a university in Egypt that could serve as a core research and education center in the Middle East and the Arab world is called the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology Initiative, and in January 2009, the two countries I have a general agreement. Until now, universities in Egypt could be enrolled free of charge if they had a certain level of academic ability, as it was meant to prevent unemployment among young people, but the level of education is declining year by year, with 84 students per teacher. It seems that he was doing it. In addition, it seems that the Faculty of Engineering was in a situation where it was not possible to carry out experiments and practical skills from beginning to end with classroom lectures. For this reason, the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology seems to focus on practical skills and research by a small number of elites, collect tuition fees, and accept foreign teachers and international students. With JICA playing a central role, we were aiming to open the school in the fall of 2009 while soliciting support from Japanese universities, creating a curriculum, building an operating system, dispatching core faculty members, and preparing equipment. Study abroad from neighboring Arab countries is also expected, and Japan plans to continue to provide support based on its own experience and technological capabilities to Egypt, which wants to further strengthen science and technology in the future. Established in 2010, it is located in New Borg El Arab City, Alexandria Governorate, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt. High-quality research at the National al-gāmaaʿa al-almāsreya al-alyābaneya lel ʿoloom wal toknologya (E-JUST (Hod Sakrah WA Abu Hamad, Borg Al Arab Al Gadida City, Alexandria Governorate: Egypt - Japan University of Science and Technology) / Through the practice of education, the formation of a multi-layered network with related organizations in Japan and overseas, and appropriate university management, the school aims to be established as a top-level research university in Egypt. Through these activities, Industrial and science and technology human resources produced by E-JUST will contribute to the overall development of the higher education sector and industry in the Middle East and Africa in the future.

【Major features】

Judging from the ruins found in various parts of Kumamoto prefecture, it is estimated that people have lived in this area for about 15,000 years. After that, the remains of the Jomon period from about 7,000 BC to about the 2nd century BC seem to have been found in about 800 places in the prefecture such as the river basin of the Ariake Sea and the Shiranui Sea and Amakusa Island. In the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, Yayoi's farming culture took place, and along with the ruins, Japan's oldest iron ax was excavated in Tensui Town, Tamana District, indicating that metal objects were introduced. In the Kofun period, old-fashioned burial mounds were distributed in Jinan-cho and Uto Peninsula, and old-style burial mounds centered on ancient Imperial graves developed in Asoya, Kikusui Town, Kao Town, etc. It seems that one of Japan's leading decorated tomb cultures flourished in the Kikuchi River basin. Around this time, small countries such as Hi no Province, Aso Province, and Amakusa Province were formed in the prefecture, and it seems that they were eventually unified into Hi no Province and Higo Province. The Taika Reform enforcement will also put Kokufu in Higo, so that the provencial governor (under the ritsuryo system, any of a group of officials, esp. The director) will eventually govern politics under the jurisdiction of Dazaifu. It seems that it has become. In ancient times, Higo Province had a powerful tribe called “火の君（It is said that the home of the clan is the Hikawa area in Ryuhoku Town, Yatsushiro District, and the Nozu tumulus group Ono Iwaya tumulus remains.）”, so it seems that it was called “Fire Country” or Higo Country. During the Warring States period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi-Ko, who settled Kyushu, ordered Narimasa Sassa-Ko to be the landlord, but Higo Kunishurevolt caused Narimasa-Ko to fall. After that, Kiyomasa Kato-Ko dominated the northern half, Yukinaga Konishi-Ko dominated the southern half, and Sagara dominated Kuma District. However, because Yukinaga Konishi-Ko was defeated in the Battle of Sekigahara, Kiyomasa Kato-Ko was given Higo one country and became the lord of 520 thousand koku, and seems to have built Kumamoto Castle. The Satsuma Rebellion began in 1877. In those days Mr. Soseki Natsume and Mr. Yakumo Koizumi taught at Fifth High School（Current Kumamoto University Kurokami North Campus）, and it seems that many human resources have left the nest. When the Kyushu Shinkansen Kagoshima route was opened in 2011, four stations, Shin-Tamana, Kumamoto, Shin - Yatsushiro, and Shin - Minamata, were set up in the prefecture. Ordinance-designated city; Moved to city designated by cabinet order. The predominant theory is that the origin of melons is the African continent, and some are particularly limited to the Niger River basin (near the present Republic of Guinea). Others include the Middle East, India, and China. It is said that today's European melons are the ones that have spread and improved in Southern Europe and Egypt, and the oriental melons that have been introduced to China are the oriental melons. Cultivation of melon companions has been around for a long time and has been known since ancient Egypt, Syria, ancient Greece and Roman times. Even in China, there is already a record in “Jiga（It is one of the Thirteen Classics and is a dictionary that is said to have been established in the Han dynasty. It is famous as the oldest Chinese dictionary consisting of 3 volumes and 19 volumes. From the Western Han to the Eastern Han, it is famous as a linguistically valuable dictionary. It is the oldest dialect dictionary, and is officially called “Yukenshisha Zetsudaigoshakubekkokuhogen”. It collects the words of people who came and went to the city of Chang'an from various places, and explains them together with common languages. In the commentary, it seems that there are “Dialect Note” by Mr. Guo Pu of Jin and “Dialect Certificate” by Mr. Dai Zhen of Qing. Senbun is the oldest radical dictionary, officially called “Shuowen Jiezi (the first comprehensive dictionary of Chinese characters)”. 1 volume, 14 texts. It consists of radical 540, heading characters 9353 characters, and compound sentences 1163 characters, and each heading character is used as a base character to give a seal script (small seal) to interpret its meaning. In the annotations, there are 30 volumes of “Shuowen Jiezi Note” by Mr. Duan Yucai, “Shuowen Jiezi” by Mr. Fu Gui, and “Shuowen Jiezi” by Mr. Junsheng Zhu. “Shiming” is a dictionary consisting of eight words, and the classification method of “Erya; 爾雅” is diverted. 釈天, 釈地, 釈山, 釈水, 釈丘, 釈道, 釈州國, 釈形體, 釈, 姿容, 釈長幼, 釈親屬, 釈言語, 釈飲食, 釈綵帛, 釈首飾, 釈衣服, 釈宮室, 釈床帳, 釈書契, 釈典藝, 釈用器, 釈樂器, 釈兵, 釈車, 釈船, 釈疾病, 釈喪制 - It is classified into 27 volumes and contains 1502 articles.

Even in Japan, during the Edo period, classical education was widely given to the common people through the Terakoya, and it could play a major role in forming the basis of personality.）” in the 13th century BC. It is said that it started in the 11th to 13th centuries in Italy, in the 15th century in France and Spain, and in the 16th century in England and the United States. In Japan, the history of melon cultivation is old, and many carbonized seeds have been excavated from the remains of the Yayoi period. Since it was often made in Makuwa Village, Gifu Prefecture, and present-day Motosu City, it is called “Cucumis melo var. Makuwa” because of its place name. European melons came to Japan in the middle and late Meiji era. In addition, the greenhouse melons as they are today began to be cultivated in 1925 when seeds were brought from England (Earl's favorite variety). It was created by a person named H.W. Ward, who was the farmer of the Earl of Radnor in England, and it is said that the name “Earl's Favorite” comes from the Count's (Earl's) favorite. One of the features is a beautiful mesh (net). The evenly stretched mesh is also a sign of healthy growth. Another feature is that it has a mellow scent similar to musk, as it is also called “MUSK melon”. Third Rank Honors First Class Doctor of Agriculture Viscount; Mr. Hayato FUKUBA-It is also a pioneer of greenhouse cultivation. In 1893, when a full-scale humidified greenhouse was built in the garden, it was used to cultivate melons, orchids, and tropical fruit trees. He has imported many rare orchid species and is also trying to improve their varieties. He was the first to grow grapes in the greenhouse. Shinjuku Gyoen is widely known as a park, but before the war it was the Shinjuku Botanical Garden in Miyauchi Province, and in the early Meiji era it was the Naito Shinjuku Proving Ground of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. In 1877, he became an apprentice at the Naito Shinjuku Proving Ground, where he learned Western-style horticulture, which was introduced to the public. He worked for the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce from 1878 and studied abroad in France and Germany from 1896 to 1899. He was appointed as an engineer by the Imperial Household Ministry in 1900, and has spent most of his life in the garden since then. At Shinjuku Gyoen, his first passion was forcing cultivation of strawberries, eggplants, and cucumbers. His godfather is said to be himself. Full-scale cultivation of melons in Kumamoto Prefecture began with this prince melon, and it seems that it is said to have started in the latter half of the 1955s. In the prefecture, various varieties are relayed throughout the prefecture, including Kumamoto City, Uki area, and Kuma area, and it seems that spring melons and autumn melons are being cultivated and shipped all year round. Nowadays, many varieties are on the market and it is a fruit that can be easily purchased. “Quincy Melon” : Yokohama Ueki Co., Ltd. (Founded in 1890 or 1891, it's a well-established seedling plant with a history of 130 years.

Mates and nurtures “Shinhogyoku × Fukamidori” to “Bolero × Earl's Summer No. 7” × “Superatib”. Born after various matings and trial and error. It's recommended to leave it for 4 to 7 days after harvest to further increase sweetness and ripen it. The flesh is thick and dense, and the flesh color is salmon pink, which is a beautiful color. With a smooth mouthfeel and deep sweetness, it has a juicy and sweet aroma. Please pick it up and enjoy it with delicate five senses. On Sunday, September 5, 2021, Governor Ikuo KABASHIMA attended the completion ceremony of JA Kumamoto City Citrus Fruit Sorting Facility. Kumamoto City is one of the top-class producing areas of Satsuma mandarin in Japan, and this facility is responsible for sorting and shipping the fruits produced in the jurisdiction. With this renovation work, it was reborn as a state-of-the-art fruit sorting facility using AI and robots, and it seems that Shinto rituals and ribbon-cutting ceremony were held to celebrate the completion. At the ceremony, the governor congratulated, “It is a model fruit sorting place that symbolizes creative reconstruction and can be proud of throughout the country. It will surely contribute to the strengthening of production areas and lead to the development of the prefecture's agriculture as a whole.” Says. Kumamoto City is the prefectural capital of Kumamoto Prefecture, which was transformed into an ordinance-designated city in April 2012. Located in the Kumamoto Plain, which is formed in the lower reaches of the Tsuboi River, Shirakawa River, and Midori River, which flow through the central part of the prefecture. The area is blessed with sunshine, with an average annual temperature of 16.5 degrees Celsius, annual rainfall of 1992 mm, and annual sunshine hours of 1964 hours. In particular, Kumamoto City has a high winter temperature, and it seems that eggplants are cultivated from autumn to spring, taking advantage of the warm winter climate. In addition, the summer evening in Kumamoto City is said to be “evening calm in Higo”, and it seems to be hot and humid with no wind. The Kumamoto City Agricultural Cooperative, which has jurisdiction over Kumamoto City, was established in April 1987 as the Yuho Agricultural Cooperative by merging 7 agricultural cooperatives in 1 city and 3 towns (at that time). After that, it merged with the Northern Agricultural Cooperative in October 1990 and changed to the current name in April 1992. The jurisdiction produces a wide variety of agricultural and livestock products, especially the squid and melon produced in areas such as Tenmei, Kitano, and Tomoai, and the mikan centered on the northwestern foot of Mt. Kinpu. are one of the leading production areas in Japan and are gaining popularity. The Kumamoto earthquake struck in April 2016, and the video JA jurisdiction suffered a lot of damage, but the union members have been working together seriously on reconstruction. The sales amount (FY2014) is rice, wheat, millet 954.73 million yen, vegetables 10,275.74 million yen, fruit trees 4,267.18 million yen, livestock 683.84 million yen, etc. The sales amount of eggplant in 2016 was 4.42 billion yen, which seems to account for about 40% of the total sales amount of vegetables. I heard that the cultivation of eggplant (Kumamoto long eggplant) in Kumamoto City began around the end of the Taisho era. In the past, it was shipped mainly in the summer with open-field cultivation, but now it seems that winter and spring eggplants are shipped from October to June due to the spread of facility cultivation. JA Kumamotoshi's eggplant (brand name: Deko-Nasu) is a long eggplant with a voluminous feel, good luster, and sweetness. I heard that the cultivar uses “Chikuyo”. Therefore, we introduced “PC Chikuyo”, which can be expected to save labor based on parthenocarpy. The penetration rate increased significantly to 45% in 2016 and 85% in 2018, and 60-70% was introduced even in the All season. According to the producer, the introduction of “PC Chikuyo”, which does not require hormone treatment, has eliminated the time constraint of work and has been highly evaluated as labor saving. However, for cultivation, winter temperature and grass vigor management are important, and the grass is weaker than “Chikuyo”. The number of members of JA Kumamotoshi Eggplant Subcommittee in 2016 is 164 houses. There are 72 producers under the age of 40, and the average age is 36, which seems to be a group with many young people. The production area is 76.5 hectares and the production volume is 11,426 tons. It seems that the management area per house was 46.6 ares, and the average yield per 10 ares was about 15 tons. Kumamoto City is in danger of being hit by a typhoon until early October. Therefore, it seems that conventional greenhouses were planted in the open field in September, and the greenhouse vinyl was covered after mid-October when there was no concern about typhoon damage. In recent years, it seems that it has become possible to harvest from September by promoting the introduction of a weather-resistant house that can withstand a wind speed of 50 meters and planting it in August after covering it with vinyl. The introduction rate of weatherproof houses for club members was about 45% at that time, and it seems that they are still being introduced. The weatherproof house seems to be expensive at over 15 million yen per 10 ares. Since it is necessary to realize a management model that can withstand the investment, the subcommittee seems to be working hard to improve production technology. Reducing fuel costs is a major issue for winter-spring management, which requires relatively high temperature control even in winter. Therefore, it seems that the subcommittee is trying to introduce various energy-saving technologies and working to improve management. Bubble wrap sheet (bubble wrap sheet: American Air Products (then) company started manufacturing for pool sheets. In 1957, two engineers (Alfred Fielding, Mark Coveres) accidentally invented it. Air Products & Chemicals is an industrial gas company. The industrial gas business is used in manufacturing markets such as refining, petrochemicals, metals, electronics, food and beverages for atmospheric process gas and related products. Provides equipment. Operates through seven segments: Industrial Gas America, Industrial Gas Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), Industrial Gas Asia, Industrial Gas Global, Material Technology, Energy to Waste , And corporate and others. Also, it seems to be a supplier of liquefied natural gas process technology and equipment. The material technology business provides semiconductors, polyurethane, cleaning and coating, and the industry is an adhesive. In the industrial gas and material technology business, there are two lines. The product is manufactured and distributed.) Seems to be used for the lining of the house as a heat insulation measure. About 60% of the members have introduced it, and the heavy oil reduction rate is about 10%. At a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on January 25, 2022, Liberal Democratic Party heavyweight Mr. Hagyuuda will implement price restraint measures to curb soaring fuel prices such as gasoline and kerosene for the first time. It would be great if people involved in agriculture could benefit from this as much If the industry itself is not lively, the future of Japan will be dark and we cannot entrust the holy Japan to the children of the future. Without mixed agriculture, Japan's development is unlikely. Looking at the changes in statistics, the gasoline price, which was 50 yen per liter as of April-August 1966, soared to 177 yen in 1982 after two oil shocks. After that, a reverse oil shock struck, and gasoline prices fell, but due to the effects of the subprime loan problem , they soared again in 2008. Immediately after that, it will rise again, but it has fallen to 109 yen in March 2016 due to the US lifting the ban on crude oil exports. From the consumer's point of view, r that, the Lehman shock occurred and the situation was plummeting. 1995-2005 was relatively cheap and stable until about 17 years ago. But what about now? Isn't the car away from the general public, especially young people, accelerating because of that influence? I personally like the constitution of Honda Motor Co. Mr. Soichiro HONDA, who met the power generation engine of a radio owned by the former Army, remembered his wife who went shopping far away. He seems to have converted about 500 engines into auxiliary engines for bicycles and put them on the market. With unprecedented convenience and a flood of orders, he quickly began developing his own engine. , and in 1947 he introduced the A-type engine as the first product to bear the Honda name. Complete. The Japanese car industry that followed him is still great and should not be depressed.) The reduction rate seems to be about 30%. Also, the film of the curtain material has been increased in thickness from 0.5 mm to 0.75 mm, which seems to enhance the heat retention effect. The circulation fan contributes to the elimination of temperature unevenness in the greenhouse. It seems that these energy-saving measures are compiled as technical materials, explained at the local study group and individually distributed to the members of the department to share information. Eggplant is a plant that prefers high temperature and humidity, but if the temperature rises too high, fertilizer injury will occur and the quality will deteriorate. Also, from April to May, the occurrence of unripe fruit due to overdrying seems to be a problem. Therefore, a fine mist cooling device that lowers the temperature by spraying water from the ceiling into the house has been introduced, centering on the newly constructed weather-resistant greenhouse. By utilizing the fine mist cooling device, it seems that it has become possible to lower the temperature inside the greenhouse during high-temperature drying and to secure appropriate humidity. Also, in winter, the greenhouse is almost starved of carbon dioxide because the greenhouse is rarely ventilated to keep it warm. Therefore, in recent years, there has been a movement to increase sales in winter by introducing a carbon dioxide addition device, and it seems that about half of the members have introduced it since that time. It seems that the effect of adding carbon dioxide was different depending on the producer. I hear that it is necessary to continue to study effective addition methods and eggplant management techniques. At the same time, the number of producers who utilize devices (professors, etc.) that measure the environment such as temperature and humidity and carbon dioxide concentration in the house has increased, and about 30% of the members have introduced it. Establishment of IPM (comprehensive pest management aiming at halving the number of pesticide sprays by controlling the use of natural enemies by using selective pesticides): As a soil preparation measure, every summer after harvest, flooding and solar heat soil disinfection are carried out in the greenhouse. By doing so, pests such as nematodes are controlled and continuous cropping disorders are prevented. As a measure against soil diseases such as Ralstonia solanacearum and plague, it seems that reduced soil disinfection using rice bran and wheat bran and soil disinfection with chemicals are performed. In addition, it seems that soil preparation is being thoroughly conducted by conducting a soil cross-section survey of fields with high yields and analysis of residual fertilizer in the soil. In the facility eggplant cultivation, there are concerns about whiteflies, thrips, leaf spots, Corynespora melongenae., And Ralstonia solanacearum, but it seems that measures are being taken by soil preparation and chemical rotation control. I heard that the biggest problem is the control of thrips. Thrips seem to cause deterioration in quality and yield due to feeding damage. The subcommittee will establish an IPM by combining not only the control of pests that rely only on conventional chemical pesticides, but also the utilization of natural enemy organisms such as thrips and the improvement of greenhouse equipment such as the expansion of insect repellent nets at the openings of the greenhouse. Seems to be aiming for. At the same time, new materials and new technology exhibition fields are set up every year, and study meetings and seminars are held at the same time mainly by the officers of each subcommittee to share information and improve the level of technology within the subcommittee, which is rare. Seems to be making an effort to see. Every month, each standard is scored and settled so that producers can produce standards that meet market needs. In particular, we have introduced a point system that takes into consideration the shipment of mainly L and M sizes. In addition, when the shipping market was consolidated into 25 markets, it became possible to form prices in each market in an advantageous manner, which seems to have led to an increase in name recognition. In urban consumption areas, slightly larger eggplants are preferred in winter, and slightly smaller eggplants are preferred in autumn and spring, so it seems that they are trying to ship according to the standards. In 2006, a new fruit sorting plant was constructed to consolidate collection and fruit sorting in one place. In order to speed up the receipt of goods, the time to bring them to the fruit sorting area is set for each region. This seems to have led to a reduction in shipping time for producers who have become farther away. Also, I heard that in order to ship fresh eggplants, we make sure to ship the harvested eggplants in the morning. Since the shipment is mainly in the Kanto, Chukyo, and Kansai areas, it seems that they are conducting sales promotion activities in large consumption areas. The women's department is currently working on expanding consumption by creating two types of recipes. Also, in order to increase consumption in the prefecture, it seems that sales promotion activities are carried out in the center of Kumamoto city every year on “Good eggplant day” (April 17th). In addition, we will hold shipping and sales meetings in the six major production areas of Nasu (Kumamoto, Fukuoka, Saga, Okayama, Kochi, Tokushima), and cooperate for planned sales by grasping the production and shipping status of each prefecture. Seems to be planning. From January 26, 2022, the selection of unheated and roofed Citrus reticulata 'Shiranui' began at JA Kumamoto City Yume Mirai Citrus Fruit Sorting Center. As of the 28th, about 10 tons per day will be shipped nationwide. It seems that the total shipment volume is expected to be 60 tons. From mid-February to the open field, from late April to long-term storage, it seems that relay shipments will continue until mid-June. In the JA Citrus Subcommittee, 10 of the 200 houses of Dekopon producers seem to be cultivating unheated and roofed Dekopon. JA ships products that meet the sugar content and citric acid standards as “Dekopon（It was probably named after the place name. Decopon (Citrus reticulata Siranui) is a registered trademark owned by the Kumamoto Prefecture Fruit Agricultural Cooperative Association. Under the umbrella of the japan horticultural agricultural cooperative association : Shipped through an agricultural cooperative association with JA and citrus production. Only those who meet certain standards to maintain high quality can use the name. It was shipped through the National Federation of Citrus Agricultural Cooperatives with a sugar content of 13 degrees or more and an acidity of 1 degree or less. “Shiranuhi Orange（Dekopon）: Sumo Mandarin” : You have to give a lot of nutrition, and you need to irrigate and fertilize well when the flowers bloom and become young. Born in 1972 in Kuchinotsu Town, Minamishimabara City, Nagasaki. It is famous as a fruit born by crossing “Kiyomi Orange（Citrus unshiu × sinensis）” and “Ponkan（Nakano No. 3: Citrus reticulata var poonensis (Hayata) H.H. Hu; It is cultivated in Nepal, South East Asia countries, southern China, Taiwan, and Japan. It is said to be native to the ‘Suntara’ region of India. It was first introduced in Japan in 1896 when Taiwan Governor General Mr. Sukenori Kabayama sent seedlings to Kagoshima for transplantation.）”. After ripening well on the tree, store for half a month to a month. It seems that the sourness will be removed and the sweetness will increase. Cultivation of Citrus Unshiu, which uses less water to increase sugar content, requires a slightly different cultivation method. Since around 1975, the native Shiranui Town and the surrounding area have been searching for citrus fruits to replace Amanatsu（Citrus natsudaidai); sweet form of Chinese citron. Iheard that the shipping period of medium late-ripening citrus (e.g. pomelo) is from February to the end of May. After that, it seems that it could not be shipped because it was difficult to keep it fresh. Under these circumstances, the Ehime Prefectural Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Institute Fruit Tree Research Center Mikan Research Institute and the Kumamoto Prefectural Agricultural Research Center Fruit Tree Research Institute have jointly developed a technology that can be shipped until summer with manufacturers of materials and chemicals. Use of MA packaging, a packaging technology that keeps freshness for a long time with special packaging and antibacterial preparations, minimizes respiration of fruits and vegetables, and prolongs freshness. Since fruits and vegetables are still alive and breathing after harvesting, they consume nutrients and may lose their freshness. Therefore, it seems that the film material with fine pores on the surface will be wrapped in this film material to make the air inside low oxygen and high carbon dioxide. By suppressing breathing, it slows down the aging of the skin and flesh and keeps the freshness. So to speak, it seems that mandarin oranges are in a half-hibernating state. Another technique is the application of an extract preparation of the perennial plant “Capillary wormwood: Artemisia capillaris” of the Asteraceae family. I heard that Capillary wormwood extract is safe and has been approved for use in foods, and contains ingredients with antibacterial activity. By applying this extract to the peel of medium late-ripening citrus (e.g. pomelo), it seems that the effect of suppressing rot and peel damage can be obtained. By combining these materials that help maintain freshness with the storage temperature control for each variety, it seems that summer shipments can be realized. According to the voices of the people concerned, it took nearly 10 years to jointly research with the company on the temperature to be controlled for each variety and the difference in the amount of the drug to be applied to the pericarp, and to put it into practical use. The development effort would have been immeasurable. This shipping technology began to be introduced in the market in 2012, and it seems that full-scale commercialization is progressing.）”. At the fruit sorting plant, dekopons placed on free trays are applied to optical sensors one by one, and it seems that workers manually pack the dekopons that meet the quality standards. The 2021 production has a large amount of fruit set, and the production amount was 108% of last year. It had a high sugar content and was finished in a size of 2L and 3L, which is about the same as normal. “Yume Mirai Mikan” is a branded Mikan of the same JA that sells delicious agricultural products with quality, freshness, safety and security. “Sweet Spring” : Certification number Tanzero Norin No. 1, Variety name Sweet Spring, Former strain name Okitsu No. 20 Orange, Certification date June 1981, Mating parent (mother x father), Ueda Wenzhou x Citrus x hassaku, Growing institution (at the time of certification) Fruit tree test site Growing institution (current) (Germany) Fruit Tree Research Institute, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, growing period 1947-1981 (about 35 years), main characteristics, good yield, fertility, resistant to citrus Variety. The tree has strong cold resistance and matures from January to February, making it suitable for shipment to raw food in early spring. The fruits are well-aligned, tight and juicy, with a sugar content of 12 to 13%, an acid of around 0.8%, and a good flavor. Growth characteristics / The tree vigor is stronger than that of “Satsuma mandarin”, and the appearance of the tree is a little standing in the young tree, but it opens when the result starts. Weak thorns may occur on young trees and on branches that are slightly legginess, but they do not occur when the tree vigor settles down. The leaves are medium in size and more rounded than “Satsuma mandarin”. Tsubasa is smaller than “Hassaku”. The cold resistance of the tree is quite strong, about “Unshu Mikan”. Elsinoë fawcettii (Winter lesions on leaves and branches. Winter lesions are 10-28 ° C (suitable temperature is 20-24 ° C), and spores begin to form when wet due to rainfall for about 3 hours. It seems that the resulting spores are carried by the rain and adhere to young leaves and fruits. The temperature at which they can invade the leaves is 13 to 30 ° C (the optimum temperature is around 26 ° C). It seems to be latent and develop the disease for about a day. The latent period of the fruit is slightly longer than that of the leaves. Spores are formed on the newly formed lesions and infect young leaves and fruits one after another (secondary infection). It seems that the disease does not occur when it gets old. In the normal year, the disease of the leaves is not seen by the beginning of June, but the leaves are soft due to cloudy weather, heavy rain and low temperature from April to May. If there is, it seems that the period of infection of the leaves will be longer. Also, if the temperature and humidity conditions are adjusted, it seems that the disease will also occur in the summer and autumn branches. It is most sensitive to the young fruit stage. The diseased summer and autumn branches tend to be important sources for the following year over the winter.) It is stronger than “Unshuu mikan”, but Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri (leaves, branches). The winter lesions of Elsinoë are the primary source of transmission, but the lesions on the treetops in summer and autumn seem to be particularly important. The amount is even higher than the lesions on the summer-autumn treetops, and it is more important as a source of transmission. It seems that it is transmitted from the scars. The main infection period to spring leaves is from early May to mid-June. After the infection to spring leaves, it is repeatedly transmitted to spring branches and summer and autumn treetops. By the end of the month, it seems to be infected mainly by secondary transmission from leaves. Wind and rain accompanied by strong winds with a wind speed of 6 to 8 m or more, especially summer typhoons, seems to be the most important disease promoting factor. There seems to be a difference. For windbreak measures, windbreak fences, windbreak nets, etc. are installed. Diseased branches are pruned and removed as much as possible. In particular, the diseased branches of summer and autumn treetops are removed. Spraying. If wind and rain accompanied by strong winds or typhoons are expected to occur, spray chemicals in advance. For chemical control in sensitive varieties cultivation gardens or existing gardens, in addition to pre-emergence control, late May (Immediately after the petals fall) Once in June, once in late June (rainy season), once or twice in mid-August to late September (autumn season). In addition, in multiple gardens, the number of control will be increased as appropriate, such as pre-flowering control (early May). Control citrus leaf miner. Avoid frequent occurrence of summer and autumn treetops due to heavy pruning.) Is somewhat weak. The shape of the flower is similar to “Hassaku”, but the size is smaller. The fertility of pollen is low, but the fruit set is good and fertile. However, it seems that there is a slight tendency for biennial bearings. There is almost no fall in winter. Quality characteristics / The fruit weighs about 250 g, is oblate and has a good ball alignment, and the fruit surface is coarser than “Hassaku”. The pericarp is yellow-orange and close to “Hassaku”, but the green color may be poor. The thickness is about 4 mm, the quality is strong and hard, and while it is tight, it is a little difficult to peel. The sac is a little hard but has no bitterness. The flesh is “orange” and darker than “Hassaku” but lighter than “Satsuma mandarin”. The meat is a little hard but juicy, the sugar content of the fruit juice is 12 to 13%, and the sugar content is around 0.8%, and the flavor is good. Due to its low pollen fertility, there are few seeds. It varies slightly depending on the presence or absence of pollinated trees in the surrounding area, but the average number is about 6. The seeds are rather small and monoembryonic. The ripening period is from January to February, and it is suitable for shipping to raw food in early spring. However, if left unharvested until after March, it may cause a slight rise. Suitable for cultivation Soil in warm winter, sunny and well-drained Meaning of cultivar name Expected to be harvested and shipped in early spring. A dream future mandarin orange : Yume Mirai Mikan with a refreshing scent grown in a vast mandarin orange garden. It is easy to eat, the taste is condensed, the rich sweetness spreads, and the juicy juice overflows. Sweet spring seems to be difficult to cultivate and the production is not very large, but it is actually very delicious. It is a citrus that has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and has a refreshing acidity. It looks rugged because it inherits the blood of Hassaku orange, but its elegant taste is attractive. “Andes melon”, ‘Cossack × Rio Gold’ × “EARL'S FAVOURITE” × ‘Honey Dew’ -Was raised by mating. Seedling Sakata in 1977 Present: A variety announced by Sakata Seed Corporation (Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama). It is known as a representative of melons with a mesh pattern. It can be made earlier than “Prince Melon”. Since it is a slightly large ball, it seems that the cultivated area has expanded rapidly. Flesh is yellowish green and has a slightly firm impression. Evidence of ripeness at the time of eating : Grip lightly with both hands and feel moist in the palm of your hand. Making Andes Melon : It seems to start in the cold winter months. Sowing begins in December in winter - Melons are cultivated in multiple layers of vinyl greenhouses. Adjusted the number of fruits per share to four, By doing fruit thinning, everything is hand labor. SAKATA SEED CORPORATION : Japan's representative net melon “Andes” series new variety for the first time in 38 years -Developed “Red Andes”. Distribution of cantaloupe（Red meat type）began in early May 2015, mainly in Tokyo. The biggest feature of the developed “Red Andes” is the bright orange color of Flesh. The taste seems to have a sugar content of about 16 degrees. The period during which the taste and meat quality do not deteriorate Conventionally, it is about 7 to 10 days. It is a traditional variety, store at room temperature. Red Andes has been evolving for as long as 10 to 14 days. Postharvest, the meat quality is just right from the very beginning to just before it ripens. The taste is also hard to change, and the so-called ready to eat state continues for a long time. It is also suitable for gifts and cut sales demand for one person.

The harvest time of green meat melon is from early December to late January, from early April to mid-May, and the flesh is yellowish green and sweet. It seems. The fine mesh pattern can also be seen from the outside. It's time to eat when the bottom is lightly pressed with your finger and it becomes a little soft.

Inspect internal quality such as sugar content and maturity using a non-destructive fruit sorter with an optical sensor. A non-destructive fruit sorter is a common name for a machine that can measure the internal quality by irradiating fruits with near infrared rays. By introducing it, it is possible to inspect all melons without damaging the fruits. In addition, the color of light differs depending on the wavelength, and the wavelength body of the corresponding color is detected and discriminated. Colors can be discriminated by detecting the ratio of the wavelength of the projected light to the light reflected or transmitted by the inspection object.

Cygnus melon will start in early February, and shipments will continue until the end of March. After harvesting, spring melons will be replanted at any time. The pulp is yellowish-green, sweet, characterized by a fine mesh-like appearance, and is excellent in jade enlargement depending on the season.
